CL&P's Post-Election Rate Hike

It is amazing how right after Gov. Dannel P. Malloy was re-elected that CL&P announced a 26 percent increase [Nov. 8, Page 1, "CL&P Electric Rates To Jump"]. There in no way the governor didn't know about that before the election.

That alone would have cost him the election -- no doubt about it.

I would like to know how Malloy thinks that the over-stressed taxpayers in this state can afford this huge increase.
